Dear Sir or Madam:

I represent a group called 'Save our village'. I am writing to you because we are concerned about plans to close the park near Lobres, and sell the land to a company that wants to build a motorway.

In our opinión, motorways produce lots of noise and they are dangerous, especially for children that play near there. On the other hand, motorways produce a lot of pollution, so that is bad for our people. Motorwys should be far from villages where people are safe. A park is better because they are beautiful places to walk your dog, have fun, play in the swings. So, definitely, the parkshould not be closed.

We have therefore decidesbto take action, and we are going to organize a march in the streets. For this reason, we are sending you this letter and we hope that you will suppoort us.

Yours fainthfully,

María José García
Group Coordinator
'Save our village' organization.

DO COW FARTS REALLY SIGNIFICANTLY CONTRIBUTE TO GLOBAL WARMING?

The text says that there are some scientists and experts that have studied how cow farts contribute to global warming. There are lots of cows in the world (about 1.3 to 1.5 billion) and their farts expel a big amount of methane gas, so that's a problem. Methane gas is very harmful for the environment, and it contributes to wipe out the ozone layer.
For this problem, scientists and experts have proposed some solutions:
One of the solutions is putting garlick in cows' food, because it helps them to expel less methane gas.
Another solution is adding plants with high levels in tannis to their diet.
Finally, some farms have experimented putting their cows into a plastic bubble, which takes the expelled gas and turns it into electricity.
I reckon that it's cruel and inhuman. Animals shouldn't live inside artificial bubbles.
So what's the conclusion of the text?
I really think that cow farts really contribute to Global Warming, although we have just seen that there are several solutions to reduce methane gas. If cows change their diet, they will expel less methane gas.

HOME SCHOOLING

Home schooling is the education of children inside the home. Either a tutor teaches the chidren or his father or mother. In my opinion, home schooling is a good solution if you  you hate going to shcool for several reasons, such as students teasing you. The good thing of home schooling is that you don't have to get up early and maybe you have to do less homework. But the bad thing is that you don't have as many friends as a student at a state school.
State schools are also called public schools outside the UK, generally to refer to primary or secondary schools. Almost all students come to state schools, because you don't have to pay.
Private schools are schools where childen whose parents are rich usually go. They're good because they have a high level of English, but you must wear a uniform and you have to study more at a state school.
A boarding school is a school where pupils study and live during the school year. Usually. they go there because they're bad students or their parents haven't much time to care for them, so they send their children to borading schools.
I hate boarding schools! I reckon teachers are very strict with pupils.
I'm at a state school and I think that it doesn't matter where you are if you want to study.
